Chapter 58 (1/2)

Everyone asked excitedly and did not at all pay attention to Qiao Nian’s flustered expression.

After Jiang Yi asked, Qiao Nian’s hand that was holding onto her backpack tightened. Her lips twitched as well.

“I’m sorry. When my aunt went to ask editor Sun, all of the signed copies had been sold.”

Jiang Yi’s smile froze on his face. The others, who were ready to take out all their money to get their hand on a signed copy also showed looks of disappointment.

However, someone asked with much expectation, “What about unsigned copies?”

“Yeah, I didn’t dare to hope for a signed copy. I’m good to get one that isn’t signed! Yesterday, I couldn’t get my hand on anything!”

“For an unsigned copy, I am willing to pay 10 times its original price!”

…

Qiao Nian felt like she would be crawling into a crack on the ground right now if there was one.

Just as she was about to tell everyone she failed to get one, she heard someone in front of her brag about getting his hand on a copy.

“Hehehe, I got it! Though it’s not signed, I am satisfied!”

Qiao Nian’s face turned white. If nobody here got a copy of an unsigned one, then it wouldn’t be too humiliating for her.

But someone got one!

Words were about to leave her lips when she changed her statement, “I did get a few unsigned copies. But some of my relatives’ kids wanted one, so I divided them up amongst them.”

“Ah~”

“What the hell!”

“What is this? Didn’t you promise you would buy some for us?”

Everyone around her couldn’t help but complain.

“Exactly, if you never said you’d buy some for us, then we’d let the fact that you favor your relatives go. But you already said you’d buy some for us and yet you still gave the books to your relatives. Are you joking with us?”

Some people pursued this matter. It wasn’t for certain whether they were intentionally or unintentionally stirring this up.
